A Year Ago III.

"Avoiding me?", he said gulping down the water .
I was scanning the the area , hoping to find a empty table, or a table that could atleast accommodate me, but the Reception Party organised was a huge one.

"Hello", he said snapping his fingers.

"What do you want?", I replied in a low voice looking around to see if Sadia or Sameera were coming.

"You won't believe me if I tell you what I want", he said smiling , lifting his eye brow.

He is so Good Looking!
First time after two encounters, I gave him a full eye.

He is not that bad!

Shut up!!!, It's Haraam!!!!

"What is it",I said making up my mind to leave for the stage.

"Okay, soo .. It's YOU!", he said , making his way towards my hands.

I am stunned!

WHAT THE HECK DID HE JUST SAY NOW!!!!

His touch brought me back to senses.

It send jerks down my body.

I quickly got up not able to digest the scene, I made my way towards the women's rest room.

Tears began to fill my eyes and one had already made its way to slid down my eye.

I entered the wash room , seeing Sameera and Sadia clicking pics ,I just couldn't control anymore.

"What the hell!!!, you guys are taking pics ,and .... And ... that .... retard.... He just....", I break down.

"Oh Allah!!, What happened Iqra???", Sadia hugged me.

"Rayan... Rayan...", I say sobbing.

"What did that Over acting Creature did now!!,Just tell us!", Sameera replied ready to explode.
Probably remembering the Bidaai Ceremony of Aaeyma.

"He touched me!!", I say still hugging Sadia.

"WTF!!!!!, WHERE, WHY AND WHEN????", Sameera said losing her grip on her words.

"My Ha... hand", I say breaking the hug.

"God!, Iqra you just freaked us out!!", Sameera said running her hands on her forehead to clear the sweat.

"Sameera, chill, it's a big deal!, we aren't those type!", Sadia say rubbing her hand on my back.

"Yah ,I know, but Iqra plz control your emotions yaar! I just imagined....God!, forget it"

"But Iqra , how suddenly , like just he came and hold your hand?", Sadia said , making my hair in place.

I then tell them about the 'Restaurant Scene btw me and that Retard'.

"Hmm, I think Areeb bhai needs to know this",Sadia said.

********

"Ya, I know Bhai!", I exclaimed when my bro started to get out 'annoying part' of his personality.

Apparently Hamza was anyhow going to fly to Lucknow for some work reasons and had asked me about my plans.
I being close to him and him being the only possible solution to my problem , blurred out everything.
(Deleting the 'Retards' part)

Me: Okay , okay!. You are most loving , caring and also NOT TO FORGET THE MOST ANNOYING BROTHER IN THE WORLD!

Ham: Thanks that sounds better.
I will mentally skip the last part.

Me: Are you going to tell ammi and Abu?.
I asked biting my lips hoping to get the brotherly answer.

Ham: Nah!, u knw they will get tensed!,and not to skip the scolding that u may get!.

Me: Yah, u are right.

Ham: I am always , little Doll.

Me: Oh Hamza PLZ not again.

Ham: Okay!,my cute little FAT Doll!.

Me: Go get a life!

Ham: My fatty is Angry!, Now listen I will land tomorrow morning and by evening I will finish off my work and then we can board the plane.

Me : Jazak Allahu khair. Call me. till then I will be here at Aaeyma's place okay?

Ham : Save the thanks part,I need Things!,okay yah.

Me:I knw.
I said rolling my eyes, thinking about the stupid things that he will make me do for his favour.

Ham :Allah Hafiz.

Me: Allah Hafiz.

Asiya (Aaeyma's sis) still is staring at me.
"That's so cute!,I too want a big brother!",she exclaimed squeezing my hands.

"Plz, that's not Cute at all!", I say rolling my eyes.

"But Yah ,having a big bro has many Perks!", I said smiling at her , remembering all the time he had stood there for me.

"See!", she said getting up from the bed.

I smiled in her direction.

"Acha,we will sleep now!, too tired", I say jumping in place and covering myself with the comforter.

"Okay. Me too. But Aaeyma Baji was looking so beautiful today!", she said copying my move.

" I know , Ma sha Allah!, don't worry we will get the same Beautician for u in ur Reception Party",I say poking her.

She blushed.
"Iqra Baji!".

"Okay okay , we will get a better one!", I say giving her a teasing smile.

I laughed seeing how she blushed.
Even when we were of her age, marriage was the most fascinating thing for us.

But as you grow up, the illusions that u build around urself slowly get replaced with the bitter truth of reality.

"It's time now, we will sleep!".

"Hmm,Acha Sadia Baji and Sameera Baji reached?"

"No yet, still in plane I think, okay Allah Hafiz!"
I say dozing off.

***********

"Yes Aunty, I will",I say hugging Aaeyma's mom.

"Allah Hafiz", I say leaving the house and heading to the cab where Hamza is waiting.

"God!, Iqra, wasn't that too much of drama?"
He asked getting out of the car, placing my bag in the trunk of the cab.

"That's called Care!", I say rolling my eyes and sitting inside the car.

"Yah ,like seriously",he commented sitting beside me and giving signal to the driver to leave.

********

"Hamza Plz!,U knw I love cold coffee,plz get me one no!",I asked him for like 10th time.

"That's the reason I call u Fatty!, Allah!, always needs something!, I am not".

"Plz"

"No!, I don't want your future husband to curse me when he asks you about your soo LESS WEIGHT!".

I gave him tight on his arm.
"Whatever! ,I was just giving u a chance to get Neeki (good deed)".

"Plz!, but if u ask me to drop u at a gym, that I would consider as a Neeki".

"I am going! ,Bye".

"Bring me a doughnut"

"Now whose the hungry bird!"

I say getting up and heading towards CCD.[CAFE COFFEE DAY]

We were at the airport , waiting for our flight.

I was not wearing my Niqaab as my so called over annoying bro tired to throw water on my face, actually he aimed for few drops but eventually the bottle decided to empty itself on me.

I read the tag line of the shop and chuckled, while waiting for my order to turn up.

It read, 'A lot Can Happen Over A Coffee'.

I started thinking about the different situations that might come up in my life over a cup of coffee.
1. I with my friends, enjoying.
2. I with my family, enjoying.
3. With my class mates, enjoying.

My mind gave me good old girly reasons to smile.

"I love that smile, it just makes my day", a fimiliar voice commented.

I turned to see the 'Retard' standing beside me, grinning.

I could not make out what happened next.
I hear a click and a then a Flash.
I close my eyes due to the direct light that was making hard for me to see.

I open my eyes to find no one beside me rather a waiter shouting my order no.

"WHAT THE HECK!!!!,
Did I just Imagined that 'Retard', Plzzz "

I take my order and heads towards where Hamza is sitting.

"Too much of work for my fatty, God Iqra u are Pale!, only walking like 100 steps.", he say taking his doughnut from my hand.

"I sa... saw...saw.. or imagined....", I say sitting down.

"Iqra!", Hamza said turning my face to face him.

"What?, tell, did u just see the Conjuring Ghost , or heard that Conjuring Clap",he say smiling at me.

I realised that it is Hamza next to me and not my friends.

Tell him, he is your bother!!!!!.

"Nah, I was just telling how cheap of u. U made ur sister pay for your doughnut and her coffee".

"As if, should I remind u like how many time I have paid for this", he say pointing towards the stomach treat.

"So now you will count!!!,Cheap Hammi",I said giving him a smile.

But he didn't say anything.
I knew he noticed that my smile didn't reach my eyes.

"Don't call me Hammi!".

" Don't call me Fatty!"

"U r but"

"Then stick this name to ur pass port!,Hammi!"

Hamza thought calling him 'Hammi' is spoiling the Manly Weight that his name carries.

"I will be back in a minute".

"Okay", I say taking a sip of my cold coffee.

*********

"Oh My God!, ammi, see ,it's soo pretty!!!", Zara exclaimed with delight after seeing her scarf and bangles.

"Ma sha Allah!, it's very beautiful!", ammi said taking a bangle to see.

"Yes ammi, it's hand made!", I say.

"What do I get?", Maaz said sitting next to me.

"My little bro gets this!",I take out a personalised flying Helicopter .

"Wow!!!!, see Zara I said u Appi loves me more!",he said ,taking his gift and running out of the room.

Leaving us all smiling.

*****

"Hamza I will kick the door now!!!,God!!! U r taking time as if u r the bride!",I say sitting on his bed, while he inside the bathroom, getting dressed.

We were going to a party, I had no idea of whom and where.

Hamza had asked me to join and I had agreed as I was tired of my daily routine and more over today is Sunday! .

His phone started vibrating.

" Hamza , ur phone is ringing!", I shout , playing Candy Crush in my mobile.

" As if, why can't I hear it then?"

I thought it to be a good opportunity to scan his phone.

"Yah,u got me!",I say carefully lifting his mobile.

'Retard', the mobile was flashing with this name.

I chuckled.

And answered the call.

"Hello?", a very fimiliar voice said.

My heart recognised the voice but my mind was not ready to break down with the conclusion of my heart.

I heard HIM.
